The World Tree, the Heart of the World.

The World Tree can be found in Boise, and anywhere you look.

I remember reading a bit of “Black Elk Speaks,” a Native American literary classic. Black Elk said that he felt the heart of the world was at a certain part of his reservation, and yet, it was everywhere, at the same time.

I take that to mean that as individuals, it is where you are at, where you find it, and it doesn’t have to be at a Native American reservation somewhere, or way out in the wilderness. It can be a particular tree, in a park, in town, near sunset. The world tree is here, too.
